I have it for 360 - my first impressions are "wow, I hope these are alpha graphics"

You can be creeping up to a bush, and it'll just disappear, then reappear a few seconds later...

And there also seems to be a weird glitch where you can go prone in just a few "right spots" and completely disappear out of the visible map, but still be able to shoot - and in the view of your killer, he just appears UNDER the map.

The gameplay is good - I've heard a few times already "this definitely is a battlefield game" or some variant of it.

The game is fun, the graphics are "meh" and some people are already level 20+... even with 2 extra days, that's ridiculous.

Yeah, who wouldn't be excited for the "Return" of the real battlefield? But lets face some facts, it looks better then other console and PC shooters, it sounds better then other shooters, it has amazing animations and I feel like my body actually weighs something. The shooting is satisfying and I'm sure the vehicle controls are still excellent.

So I guess with all that being said, we should be REALLY hard on the people getting hyped about the new CoD. What has changed in 8 years?

playing it on the PS3 right now, and i can say one thing the graphics are terrible...it feels like bfbc2 or heck cant remember bfbc2 looking bad as this, the trees are terrible, the grass and textures are a pixalated mess, the player models are awful, and dissapointing the destruction seems toned down.

maybe judging too early and this is what i get from playing the beta.

Graphics are ps2 quality.

dice dissapointing on consoles. Killzone 3 just destorys it to pieces, and people wont even be able to run the game on PC with that sort of graphics dice advertised.

The graphics aren't much better than Bad Company 1. I know it's in Beta, but still - it doesn't look as good as BFBC2... which it totally should, and I hope it will be on release day. I'll probably play it regardless, but I just hope that the graphical code for this beta is very old.

I think you're all insane if you think this game looks worse than BC2. Go back and pop in BC2, it was a jaggy mess.

Not too mention the beta builds generally are older builds. Do you really think they are going to release the final game with people falling through the ground? Doubt it. And they have already said there are graphical elements missing from the beta as well.

Personally I think turning a corner and being blinded by a flashlight is gorgeous. Even on the lessened console versions.

If only I wasn't running the beta on two different machines, both with a mixture of Ultra and High settings. Then your theory about no one having a PC who could run the game would be semi accurate. It's not even high end hardware.

You should also try playing some PS2 shooters, you either never have or you have some memory issues.

I had an ad link to play Battlefied 3 on Live yesterday. Clicked on it and it showed -1 points to buy. Clicked on the buy option and it said I didn't have enough points and showed like 4 billion points plus to get it, then it had the little do you want to add points at the bottom. Wasn't sure I had enough in my bank to add that many points. ha

disagree with me all you want. but this game looks terrible on PS3, I was looking forward to this game. after playing 30 mins of the beta. im 100% not buying it and buying MW3, everybody says MW3 is MW2, well least i know ill like it, no different then spending £40 on the map packs

I thought there was a glitch when I first entered the subway - I kept getting white and red flashes on my screen (are those the "blinking" you speaks ofs?) which just turned out to be guys scoping me (right before getting my head shot to pieces...)

I jumped on the site and thought by logging into the EA account one of the 3 download options would become highlighted and allow for an install...but I just signed into Xbox and downloaded the beta from the Marketplace.
